Turned up the water temp so that the breeding colonies will do their thing.  Living in Puyallup, we'll bag the fish.  Likely 3 or 4 bags.  Bring a cooler or tote to hold the bags for the trip home.  Have the water in your tank about 80 degrees to receive them.  Feed them 8 times a day.

Yes.  Thanks for the advance notice.  I'll have them.  Where do you live?

I'm just now putting up the green houses but I will probably need about 100. My new tank will be about 300 gal.  So I'm looking at about a month or so.  I just wanted know if you still had them.

Comment by Phil Slaton on September 25, 2015 at 11:02am

Yep, I have them.  How many do you need? 

Comment by Shirley A Davidson on September 25, 2015 at 10:41am

Phil do you still have any tilapia left?  I got some this spring but I'm building a new system that can take a lot more fish.

Glad that you are here.

Comment by Christian Richards on July 7, 2015 at 2:22pm

Thanks for having me. I've been looking into aquaponics for nearly a year, sat on 2 IBC totes for over 6 months, and finally decided to destroy the yard and get stuff set up. I'm in SE Arizona and currently trying to dig a hole for my sump tank to help with water temperature regulation. I'm looking at growing tilapia since they are allowed and deal well with warmer temps.
